We present a pipeline monitoring system based on bio-memetic robot in this paper. A bio-memetic robot exploring pipelines measures temperature, humidity, and vibration. The principal function of pipeline monitoring robot for the exploring pipelines is to recognize the shape of pipelines. We use infrared distance sensor to recognize the shape of pipelines and potentiometer to measure the angle of motor mounting infrared distance sensor. For the shape recognition of pipelines, the number of detected pipelines is used during only one scanning of distance. Three fuzzy classifiers are used for the number of detected pipelines, and the classifying results are presented in this paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
